This video was bitter-sweet for sure! The Two years I spent building the ultimate Jeep Gladiator Overland Build, pinching every penny to build an awesome Jeep; I ended up tearing it apart in only Three Days.
*Apologies to all my die-hard Manual transmission fans for sure! I hope you stick around, because we have big plans for the new build! I may (not fully committing) even swap it, but that 10 speed auto is the same one used in all the high horsepower builds.
Background: From the moment I bought Rubi in September of 2021, she was tons of fun to drive. We've gone so many places, national parks, met so many cool people, and had so many memories in this Jeep. At the time I was first looking at the Gladiators, I really wanted a manual transmission. That's the only reason I didn't buy an Eco-Diesel in the beginning.
Despite the Risk of exploding clutches and Recalls, the Manual was a ton of fun! Honestly one of the most capable and fun vehicles I've ever driven!
When you buy a Jeep you don't really buy it for fuel milage. With all the markdowns and the fact the Eco-Diesel is going away; it was either now or never to step into a brand new Eco-Diesel Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, untouched, not abused, not tuned, and not having issues due to lack of maintenance. Diesels in general retain their value more than their gasoline counterparts.
10-12MPG cross country is what sold me. A few weeks ago Brad from@TrailRecon mentioned all the end of year sales. I was curious and started looking. I'd also heard that Jeep doesn't have any plans for an Eco-Diesel Gladiator in 2024 and they have not committed to selling a 392 or any V8 Platform for the Gladiator.
I will say that Teddy @UnwindingRoads was really cool and helpful in making my decision. He too went from a Manual Gladiator to a Diesel and had nothing but good things to say. I'd like to tell him and my buddy Steve @adventureoffroadx THANKS! Y'all sold me!
I'm not going to sugar coat it my first experience with the New Jeep didn't go well! Most folks would have been furious, however we have lemon laws for a reason. The dealership fixed the issue, and we've already racked up over 1,500 miles on the new Jeep Gladiator.
I didn't know my last Adventure with Rubi would be with Isaac from www.snorkelupgrade.com. The Sy-Klone was the LAST INSTALL video we did!
The Build:
For my personal setup, I chose to go with the @ClaytonOffRoad 3.5" Overland Plus Kit. They have a great reputation. James was super helpful when deciding between the HD Springs or the Normal Springs. I'm extremely happy going with the HD springs and know that I'll be able to fully load the Gladiator out in the future with the load carrying capacity to grow! I also went with the @GoRanchoSuspension RS9000XL Shocks.
